Crispy Okra Cakes
Ingredients
  • 3 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 pound okra, finely chopped
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
Instructions
1
Preheat the cooking vessel by heating 1 inch of oil to a scorching hot temperature of 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2
In a spacious container, merge the okra, onion, salt, pepper, water and egg in a harmonious blend. Unite the flour, baking powder and cornmeal; then incorporate that mixture into the okra blend.
3
Gently pour spoonfuls of the okra batter into the sizzling hot oil, and cook on each side until a golden hue is achieved, approximately 2 minutes per side. Utilize a slotted spoon to remove the fried okra, and drain on paper towels to prevent excess moisture.
